Sunny South Palm Sunday Visit at Pinehurst
L O in Baldwinsville writes from Pinehurst New England to describe a spring visit in the Sunny South. The piece paints Vinehurst as a parklike village with electric lights, hotels, cottages, and golf links where Vardon gave exhibitions. Local life, a six mile trolley to Southern Mines, a deer park, and a McKenzie mill excursion are recounted alongside portraits of the hospitable Pinehurst family, local folly, a minstrel show, and a note on North Carolina products from gold and silver to tar and turpentine. The essay ends recalling changes back home and plans to visit Washington.
